Join an exciting entertainment experience by purchasing a membership for the 2016-17 East Central University Fine Arts Season, featuring comedian/actor Paul Reiser.
Reiser, who starred in the 1990s hit television sitcom “Mad About You,” will bring his comedic talents, with an opening act from Vance Gilbert and hosted by Oklahoma comedian Rob Neville, to the Ataloa Theatre of the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
The season membership includes 11 events, including four other special featured performances - a concert by Hal Ketchum with an opening from Clint Austen, on Nov. 10; Theatreworks USA’s production of Charlotte’s Web on Jan. 20, 2017; Songs of the Fall concert, with the Baptist Generals opening, on April 12, 2017 and screenwriter/director John Waters, who will be the keynote speaker at Momentum Ada with “This Filthy World” on May 19, 2017.
